History

Donkey Heart began as a project for Sinbad Richardson and Martin Cesar. It included an old Roland CR-5000 [drum machine], a [guitar], a [record player] and Sinbad and Martin rapping. They performed under the name King Donkey Heart at various parties and social gatherings.

Eventually, the project turned into a full fledged band with the addition of Martin's friend, Neyza, and Sinbad's cousin, Austin. Sinbad became the guitarist, Neyza the keyboardist, Austin handled the drum machine and Martin sang. The band renamed themselves Donkey Heart and played their first show together at the now defunct Le Swimming.

The band began performing around Montreal on a regular basis, performing with bands such as The Dears, Bad Flirt, Rance Mulnix, Beaver, The Alex Chow Symphony Orchestra, Telefauna, Rocket v. Robot, Raw Madonna, Stars, The Diskettes, Pony Up!, Dead Bush, and many others.

During their 2004 Pop Montreal appearance, the band was listed under the name Kevin Hates Us. Shortly after, the band went back to their original name, stating that the name change was an inside joke.

As of May 2005, the band is on indefinite hiatus, performing their last show for the 2005 edition of Pop Montreal.
